Hi all,   Years ago, you all helped me purchase great at-home headphones for my listening needs (Shure SRH840).   However, work is not conducive to such large headphones, and as I have recently gotten my first pair of glasses (lucky me), they don't fit quite the same. Also, I look ridiculous...

Found them for $130 on Headphonesolutions.com. Amazon has them for $150, and that was the lowest until I came across HPS. They are a decent company, right? I looked at this ( Earphone Solutions' "credibility" - iLounge Forums ). Nothing but positive reviews. I've checked up and researched them...

I have read some of the other posts regarding particular types of headphones (http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f4/rec...ubstep-452034/), however the reasons I need them and other factors might be a bit different. I didn’t want to repeat a similar post, but I am clueless as to where to start as far...
